Lightning McQueen Car C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern

Lightning McQueen Car C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern

Create a fun and cozy handmade blanket with this Lightning McQueen Red Car C2C crochet pattern, perfect for a kids’ room, toddler space, or car-themed nursery decor. The corner-to-corner (C2C) graphghan design features a red sports car character from Disney, with expressive eyes and a smiling face, making it a bright and recognizable project for children.

Inside this pattern, you’ll find everything you need to make a soft throw blanket. The main chart is divided into multiple pages for easy use, and step-by-step row-by-row instructions in English are included in two formats: color block charts and written instructions. You will also find a helpful formulas section that explains how to calculate gauge, estimate yarn usage for the entire graphghan afghan and each color, and adjust the final size using any yarn you choose.

This pattern uses US crochet terms and is designed for crocheters who enjoy the C2C (corner-to-corner) technique, worked diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. It is best suited for those comfortable with basic stitches and simple color changes. The pixel-style layout and color transitions make it an engaging project, resulting in a soft, cozy handmade throw blanket.

GRID SIZE: 64 × 64 squares.
